Comment 23 for bug 1665459

So at this point I have to run juju devel to be able to not use the juju LXD as a router/default gateway because the fix is in, but nobody knows when it will hit the stable branch. Also, MaaS stable iSCSI server dies on PXE (not sure how that makes a stable release) and MaaS devel can't PXE.

I am building this thing out to demonstrate to prospective employers that I can build an entire cloud data center from scratch. Since the Canonical stack is literally too broken to use now I guess I will have to deploy RHEL kickstart or Crowbar for this instead, or nobody will believe I know how to do this. It's too bad too. I even made a MAAS label for the MaaS Raspberry Pi power control switch.

Not to be preachy, I have been deploying this stack in one form or another for evaluation purposes in enterprise environments for around 3 years now, and it still isn't stable enough to be deployed on a dev platform. This stuff has definitely come long way over time, but is more art than science since it is still unusable.

I am a huge fan of these components and features, but at some point we might want to ask if we are building a working commodity, or if we are just developing for the sake of development. I personally keep hoping that your products will exist in a usable form one day when I am in a position to use them professionally, because to be honest they are fun to work with. Unfortunately those opportunities are rare but I always at least try to check in each time to see if these projects are ready and will always continue to do so.

I will watch and see if this gets fixed soon, but right now this is actually making me look bad and if I don't impress someone to hire me soon, I'm literally going to lose my house.

Thanks for your help. Will keep checking back in when I can.
